2 Chronicles 20:1-6
20 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.

² Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi.

³ And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

⁴ And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.

⁵ And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court,

⁶ And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

2 Chronicles 20:10-13
¹⁰ And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;

¹¹ Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.

¹² O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.

¹³ And all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

MEMORY VERSE
Now when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated…, they helped to destroy one another.

MFM Daily Devotional 25 June 2024 MESSAGE

King Jehoshaphat was faced with the greatest crisis of his life when three nations rose up against him. Naturally, he was afraid but he channeled his fear positively by seeking the face of God on what to do. He declared a fast for all his people, confessed his helplessness, obeyed God’s leading, and put his trust in God and His word.

He had confidence in God’s ability to deliver him because he knew God has power over all people and situations. He knew God has always been faithful to His people in times past and present. He recognized the fact that God’s people are helpless without Him. Jesus said in John 15:5, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me, you can do nothing.”

Jehoshaphat remembered God’s promises as a sure foundation for faith. Also, he knew that God’s active presence among His people means deliverance and victory, so he trusted God for victory. God gave him an unusual strategy for the battle. He told him to put out an array 0f praise singers. He did and God gave him victory.

Are you faced with some Overwhelming battles and you feel like just ending it all? Is there an embarrassing situation that you feel like the ground should open and swallow you up? Are there gang-ups and evil conspiracies that seem to be no way out? Do you feel all caged in by your present situation and circumstance?

Rise up today, call upon God in earnest prayer and fasting. Remember, Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself said in Matthew 17:21;” However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

God will give you a divine strategy that will discomfit your enemies and you will sing the song of victory, in Jesus’ name.
